Let's say the data set is:

a, b, c, d, e, f, g, 61, h, i, j, k, l, m, n

If we add another number,

a, b, c, d, e, f, g, 61, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o

You can see the median changes. So adding another number would change the median.

Hope this helped! Please comment or DM me if you have anymore questions or don't understand :)
